O Shariputra, form is no other than emptiness, emptiness no other than form. Form is exactly emptiness, emptiness exactly form; sensation, conception, discrimination, awareness are likewise like this. O Shariputra, all Dharmas are forms of emptiness, not born, not destroyed; not stained, not pure, without loss, without gain; so in emptiness there is no form, no sensation, conception, discrimination, awareness, no eye, ear, nose, tongue, body, mind; no colour, sound, smell, taste, touch, phenomena; no realm of sight... no realm of consciousness; no ignorance and no end to ignorance… no old age and death, and no end to old age and death; no suffering, no cause of suffering, no extinguishing, no path; no wisdom and no gain. No gain and thus the Bodhisattva lives prajna paramita with no hindrance in the mind, no hindrance therefore no fear, far beyond deluded thoughts; this is nir- vana. All past, present and future Buddhas live prajna paramita and there- fore attain anuttara-samyak-sambodhi. Therefore know, prajna paramita is the great mantra, the vivid mantra, the best mantra, the unsurpassable mantra; it completely clears all pain - this is the truth, not a lie. So set forth the prajna paramita mantra, set forth this mantra and say: Gate! gate! paragate! parasamgate! bodhi svaha! prajna heart sutra!

  • Zen Heart Sangha Jikido Schema Sesshin
    Zen Heart Sangha Jikido schema Sesshin Als Jikido heb je tot taak om de zendo te beheren, de meditatie volgens het schema gaande te houden en vooral om de aanwezigen in staat te stellen zich helemaal aan hun beoefening te wijden zonder zich met andere dingen bezig te hoeven houden. Je stelt je beoefening dus voor een groot deel ten dienste van de anderen. Je beoefening als Jikido is, om je zo veel mogelijk bewust te zijn van de deelnemers en van de gang van zaken in de zendo. Je richt je op het welzijn van de deelnemers en op wat er gaande is in de zendo en neemt daar ook mede de verantwoordelijkheid voor. Je bent niet alleen verantwoordelijk voor de zendo, je bent ook de gastheer/vrouw in de zendo en je belichaamt het praktisch functioneren van Zazen. Je bent de persoonlijke expressie van het niet-persoonlijke, altijd klaar om te handelen naar gelang de situatie vergt. Je doet gewoon wat gedaan moet worden vanuit een milde, open, responsieve staat van zijn. Als Jikido zorg je ervoor dat je op tijd in de zendo bent. Je regelt de verlichting, de temperatuur en de ventilatie, en checkt eventueel of het altaar op orde is (bloemen, kaars, wierookbrander, wierookstaafjes). Je volgt nauwkeurig het tijdschema zonder inflexibel te zijn. Je zoekt op eigen initiatief de leraar of de Jisha op om het schema up to date te houden en je wordt door de leraar ook zo goed mogelijk op de hoogte gehouden van eventuele veranderingen. Eerste zitperiode 0700 zazen (40m zen - 10m kinhin - 30m zen - 10m kinhin - 30m zen) 0630 Wekken.

The form that we use in the zendo and for Zen ceremonies is an important part of our practice. Ceremony, from the Latin meaning 'to cure,' acts as a reminder of how much there is outside of our own personal concerns and allows us to reconnect with the profundity of life and to show our appreciation of it. Form is a vehicle you can use for your own realisation rather than something you want to make fit your own views. To help with this it is useful to remember that the structure though fixed is ultimately empty. Within meditation and ceremony form facilitates our moving physically and emotionally from our usual outward looking personal concerns to the inner work of realisation and change.

  • Jikido Takasaki, a Study on the Ratnagotravibhaga (Uttaratantra)
    Jikido Takasaki, A Study on the Ratnagotravibhaga (Uttaratantra) Johannes Rahder Professor of Yale University Jikido Takasaki, A study on the Ratnagotravibhaga (Uttaratantra), being a Treatise on the Tathagatagarbha Theory of Mahayana Buddhism, including a critical Introduction, a Synopsis of the text, a Translation from the original Sanskrit text, in comparison with its Tibetan & Chinese versions, critical Notes (more than 2000), Appendixes and Indexes. 13+ 439 pages. Serie Orientale Roma Vol. 33. Roma, Istituto Italiano per it Medio ed Estremo Oriente, 1966. In this monumental work Dr. Takasaki made a major contribution to our knowledge of a Buddhist monistic, absolutistic, eternalistic, subs- tantialistic philosophical system, which Erich Frauwallner (Professor at the Univ. of Vienna) in his book "Philosophie des Buddhismus" p. 255-264 (Berlin, Akademie Verlag 1958, 436 pages) called "Die Schule Saramatis", dat- ed in the middle of the third century and placed in an intermediate position between the relativistic Madhyamaka and idealistic Yogacara systems. Frauwallner, whose above listed sourcebook of Buddhist philo- sophy is not mentioned in Takasaki's book, brought the Mahayanasra- ddhotpada-sastra (Kishinron) into close association with: the Ratnagotra- vibhaga because they share both the Matrix (Garbha) theory (Takasaki p. 53). Takasaki's annotated and well indexed English translation owes a great deal to E. E. Obermiller's English translation from the Tibetan version, published in Acta Orientalia ninth volume (1931) p. 81-306. Ho- wever, the late E. E. Obermiller (lifespan: 1901-1935) did not know the Sanskrit original, published in Patna in 1950, and could not read the -421- Jikido Takasaki, A Study on the Ratnagotravibhaga (J.

  • Buddhist Phenomenology and the Problem of Essence
    Comparative Philosophy Volume 7, No. 1 (2016): 59-89 Open Access / ISSN 2151-6014 www.comparativephilosophy.org BUDDHIST PHENOMENOLOGY AND THE PROBLEM OF ESSENCE JINGJING LI ABSTRACT: In this paper, I intend to make a case for Buddhist phenomenology. By Buddhist phenomenology, I mean a phenomenological interpretation of Yogācāra’s doctrine of consciousness. Yet, this interpretation will be vulnerable if I do not justify the way in which the anti-essentialistic Buddhist philosophy can countenance the Husserlian essence. I dub this problem of compatibility between Buddhist and phenomenology the “problem of essence”. Nevertheless, I argue that this problem will not jeopardize Buddhist phenomenology because: (1) Yogācārins, especially later Yogācārins represented by Xuan Zang do not articulate emptiness as a negation but as an affirmation of the existent; (2) Husserl’s phenomenological essence is not a substance that Yogācārins reject but the ideal sense (Sinn) that Yogācārins also stress. After resolving the problem of essence, I formulate Buddhist phenomenology as follows: on the epistemological level, it describes intentional acts of consciousness; on the meta-epistemological level, it entails transcendental idealism. Keywords: essence, emptiness, later Yogācāra, transcendental idealism, Buddhist phenomenology 1. INTRODUCTION In Ideas1, Husserl defines phenomenology as the science of essence, not the science of matters of facts (Hua 3/5). This demarcation marks his turn from descriptive phenomenology (the study that factually analyzes real psychological phenomena) to transcendental phenomenology (the theory that explains essential ideal conditions that make real psychological phenomena possible). Regardless of this turn, Husserl uses phenomenology as the approach to consciousness. He describes human consciousness to be the intentional awareness constituted by subjects in their interaction with objects that appear as mental phenomena.

  • Report of the XVI Th Congress of the International Association Of
    Report of the XVI th Congress of the International Association of Buddhist Studies Ulrich Pagel General Secretary, IABS The XVIth Congress of the International Association of Buddhist Studies (IABS) took place at Dharma Drum Buddhist College in Jinshan, New Taipei City (Taiwan) from 20 to 25 June 2011. Attesting to the steady increase of interest in Buddhist Studies worldwide, participation at this IABS congress exceeded once again previous registration figures. More than seven-hundred delegates, arriving from all corners of the globe, joined the proceedings at Dharma Drum Buddhist College over a period of six days. The Congress was prepared by a local planning committee, led with great compe- tence by the venerable Jenjou Hung and Professor William Magee. The team in charge of organization of the Congress drew on the support of a very large and well-prepared team of staff and students, including a veritable army of volunteers drawn from the Saṅgha, many of whom had travelled to Jinshan from afar for this very pur- pose. The local arrangements and hospitality were truly exemplary and set a new benchmark for all future congresses. The academic program commenced with a convocation cere- mony at which the IABS President Professor Dr Scherrer-Schaub delivered her address, entitled: ‘Perennial Encounters – The Simile of the Painter and the Irruption of Representation in Indian Buddhism.’ This was followed by a keynote address of Professor Tom Tillemans (IABS General Secretary, 2002–2008) with the title ‘Mind, Dharmakīrti and Madhyamaka.’ Over the course of the next five days, IABS delegates delivered a total of 565 papers, probing a wide range of issues in Buddhist studies.
